Grade 2 Teachers

Ross Farm Museum; Nova Scotia’s Living Museum of Agriculture offers an exciting hand-on program where children have the opportunity to perform many different tasks, which involve many of the daily chores, on a 19th century farm. Children will learn practical things, from days gone by, so they can distinguish the relationship between themselves and the early setters. By using hand tools, wood fired stoves, or a coal fired forge, students can create their own images of life before modern conveniences, powered by electricity. The experience produced will be a very enjoyable one with memories lasting a life time.

At present, the museum offers eight different hands-on programs. Each of these educational tools will be described briefly, to assist students in making their decision in which program they would like to take part in.

With the help of Susan Haynes a retired school teacher here in Nova Scotia we are able to provide a curriculum map that allows you to connect the curriculum you are teaching with the school programs offered here at the museum.
